I balanced a Goldberg Eagle 2 as per the directions, 4 inches behind the leading edge. I have a Hanger 9 alpha that was balanced at 3. I understand that different aircraft have different characteristics, but the flight characteristics of the Eagle were a bit troubling on maiden. I took off three times and each flight I noticed that as soon as I tried to turn the nose went up, the tail dropped, and the plane stalled. It held level on approach, but seemed to be a bit tail heavy upon touchdown, as it would bounce from tail no matter how mellow of an approach. The turns could be completed with a little work, but it seems to me that the tail is a bit heavy. Any balancing tips, and explanation of what happens with a tail heavy vs nose heavy aircraft would be appreciated.
